Third-Generation Photovoltaics: Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC)
From a manufacturing standpoint, the most straightforward third-generation solar cell technology is the dye-sensitized solar cells. There is a biomimetic aspect to how light interacts with the solar materials that is similar to photosynthetic activities in plants and some aquatic creatures.
Charge transfer rates and electron trapping at buried interfaces of ...
The passivation of contacts is decisive for achieving high solar energy conversion efficiencies of solar cells. Interfacial recombination losses at buried interfaces disappear at ideally passivated contacts, i.e., recombination-active defect states are absent at charge-selective contacts, and minority charge carriers do not reach the corresponding …

A parameter sweep named "polarization" is used to run the simulation and calculate the generation rates for 0 and 90 degree polarizations, which are then combined in the electrical solver (CHARGE) to get the generation …
The generation profile in silicon due to the Am1.5 spectrum. Note that the carrier generation is the highest at the surface of the solar cell, thus making photovoltaic devices very sensitive to surface properties. A non-uniform collection probability will cause a spectral dependence in the light-generated current.
